Turns out the giant fish measured 46.25 inches long and 29 inches around, braking the state record that stood at 39.5 inches long and 31 pounds caught in 2010.

Hair said he caught the fish on 18-pound test line with a crank bait. And while it took 45 minutes to get it to the boat, it took him all of two hours to fillet it out. Now that’s gonna be a lot of catfish dinners.
